Hamilton County warrants – Is a person you know wanted for a crime?
A warrant is a document signed by a judge that gives the police the right to incarcerate an individual. It is only issued if probable cause exists that someone has committed a crime. A search of county warrants will let you know if the authorities are actively seeking the subject of your inquiry.
The county does not have an online search; however, they do post mug shots and details for recently issued warrants on the
sheriff’s office web page. You can also contact the office directly at 317-776-9800, Ext. 2, or communications dispatch at 317-773-1282 to see if a person is wanted.
Where to inquire about a person's prior arrests?
Hamilton County arrest records can be found in the
county database. You can view a list of inmates by first letter of last name, or you can view a list of all current detainees.
The sheriff’s office will also provide a limited background check that includes Hamilton County arrests.
